About the competition

Every city has its own story, its specific atmosphere, its own flavour. The same as your favourite coffee. Connect the city and coffee and express your own experience with it, may it be visual storytelling or abstract art. There are no restrictions to your fantasy!

The jury will evaluate especially the unique and unmistakable artistic or graphic author‘s expression, corresponding with the NESCAFÉ AZERA brand and the continuity of the competition theme.

Any graphic designer, illustrator, painter, student of a university or a college with specialization of design or applied arts who is over 18 old, with permanent residence in the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Denmark, Norway, Sweden and Finland, or a design studio operating in these Countries, can participate with a maximum of 2 competition designs.
